Singer turned actor Sin Seong-woo will hold his first solo concert in Japan October 21 at the Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo.

He first became known to the Japanese audience through his dramas 'First Love', 'Wild Funny Girl', and 'Man in Crisis', after which he released a photo album in Japan. He also held three fan meetings in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima and participated in a Korea-Japan arts exhibition.

But the upcoming concert is another step forward, as it is not only for his fans but for the general public.

His management agency Orange Note says that the concert was proposed by K-Wave, which has organized many K-POP singers' concerts such as the K-POP Super Live.

Killers in love

When you conjure up images of killers from movies and television dramas, you'll find that they are generally simpletons. These killers, who go to the most humanely possible extreme of extremes, don't think much. Killers never busy themselves with questions like, "Who was this person?" "Why kill this person?"

Their thought processes seem simple: "You're dead meat".

Some murderers, contrary to their killing prowess, however, have a child's wide-eyed innocence about them, like Kang Dong-won(24) in movie "Duelist", and Jean Reno(57) in "The Professional".

What happens when a killer meets a killer and falls in love?

On December 17 at 11:45 p.m., MBC Best Theater will air "May, June", portraying the heartrending love of killers. This drama was made by Park Jae-beom who produced the MBC drama "Resurrection-NEXT" that finished in June, 2005, and writer Do Hyeon-gyeong who received the honorary Gold Nymph at the 44th Monte Carlo TV Festival (2004) for his MBC Best Theater show "Neup...| More
